Suddenly, he began to feel sorry for Xu Heming.
I don't know what that kid did to make my daughter misunderstand like this.
"Then how do you explain where you went during those two days you disappeared?" Li Zhiwei looked at Li Tianyou, as if she had guessed correctly.
Seeing this, Li Tianyou touched his nose, and the little voices inside him started fighting.
One is to make things clear and not let Xu Heming take the blame.
One option is to not explain and let the daughter continue to misunderstand. Isn't that how a son-in-law comes in handy?
Seeing Li Tianyou remain silent, the little flame in Li Zhiwei's heart suddenly flared up.
You, Xu Heming, how dare you scheme against her father!
She was locked up for two days. If he didn't want to marry her, he could have just said so. Why bother her father?
Thinking of this, Li Zhiwei looked at Li Tianyou with heartache. How much injustice had her father suffered to be so weak?
She wondered why Xu Qingshi disappeared for two days without any problems, but her father seemed to have been hit hard.
Xu Heming, far away on Wangxian Mountain, sneezed loudly.
"Your Highness, are you alright?" Qingsong quickly stepped forward to ask.
"I'm fine, keep searching!" Xu Heming looked at the mountain, eager to find the location of the iron ore as soon as possible.
After all, they found a lot of stones at the pit, but their men also discovered that it wasn't the location of an iron ore mine.
"Your Highness, is there really such an iron ore mine here?" Gu Shixing, the Vice Minister of Works who was following behind, asked with some doubt, holding a hammer.
"How can you talk like that?" Qingsong glared at Gu Shixing with some displeasure, secretly wondering how he could doubt his prince's words.
Besides, didn't they also find a lot of iron ore in that giant pit?
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I didn't mean to doubt you. It's just that we've searched the entire area and haven't found any trace of iron ore," Gu Shixing said quickly, recalling the rumors circulating about His Highness.
He was genuinely worried that his words might bring him to his death.
Xu Heming simply stood up and looked around. It was daytime, and he could see the surrounding environment clearly. The trees here were lush, and it certainly didn't look like there would be an iron mine.
"Send more people to search the surrounding area, but not in densely wooded areas. Look for exposed steep slopes that are reddish-brown, purplish-brown, or black," Xu Heming ordered calmly, without reprimanding Gu Shixing.
"Yes!" Upon hearing this, the surrounding guards all dispersed.
"Then...this...this humble official will go too!" Gu Shixing said tremblingly when he saw the look Xu Heming was giving him.
Otherwise, he feared that after he finished speaking, Prince An might punish him.
You know, he had personally witnessed Prince An's knife attack, which terrified him so much that he couldn't sleep well for several nights.
“Lord Gu, there’s no need to rush. However, there’s a lot of ore in that pit. If you have time, you can go and pick it out first,” Xu Heming said indifferently, seeing Gu Shixing’s nervousness.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll go right away!" Upon hearing this, Gu Shixing quickly jumped into the pit.
"Huh, isn't this Lord Gu a civil official?" Qingsong said with some surprise when he saw Gu Shixing's swift movements.
"Alright, send two people to follow him, just in case something happens." Xu Heming didn't care about Gu Shixing's matter; instead, he wanted to resolve things here as soon as possible. After all, he felt that his son's disappearance was not so simple.
Li Zhiwei should have come to the manor as well, right?
Thinking of this, Xu Heming sighed, wondering if Li Zhiwei would blame him for not taking good care of her father.
